Smart and driven people is gonna build/create good sh*t regardless of gender or where they were born or any other cultural/societal factor.

How do you manage to stay long-term on a foreign country, immigration-wise?

It's not KPI chasing. I've grown _so_ much after each job/career change that I often wonder how long would it take me to grow by same amount if I'd stay at a single job (I don't have that answer yet but I'm sure longer).

Changing jobs every 5 years-or-so is forcing yourself to learn a new culture and new set of skills.

> I wouldn’t want to switch jobs just to drive up my pay even if I could [...] I have worked 20 years in the same job and so have my colleagues.

Honestly this part of the European mentality is hard for an outsider understand. I lived there for ~10 years and heard this argument countless times.

I want a fulfilling life and part of that is a fulfilling job. It's hard to believe a job on the same company can be fulfilling for 20+ years. Changing jobs is part of professional growth IMO.

Different strokes for different folks I guess.

Nah, real horologists appreciate the apple watch as much as a mechanical watch.

There are so many technologies to tell time. Most horologists appreciate the evolution of these technologies: manual, automatic, quartz, solar, eco-drive, spring-drive, and smart watches.

All of them amazing and equally intriguing and loveable.

The writing style looked weird to me until I realized this is a twitter thread glued together to look like an article. Hence all the abbreviations.

from the article:

> Apple [...] will give consumers the option to opt-out of tracking in each app

Apple is giving you the option to choose.

Probably off-topic but Blaine Garst’s writing style is super engaging and fun.

Numerai’s intro video[1] makes pretty wild claims and seems to target a pretty specific group of people.

Personally I’m put off by the language used in the video.

No thanks. I prefer dollars in my bank account.

My guess is that the team working on M1 is a non-overlapping set with the team working on macos releases

The premise of the title is interesting. The delivery abysmal.

> I then proceeded to answer the questions above. Undergoing this process was interesting and revealing. The power of questions

Why was this interesting? Why revealing? What did you find? _How_ did you find it?

Or anyone fluent on a romance language [1]

Fiat currencies are not ideal but are the best known currency tool to date.

I commonly hear that blockchain-based currencies can be a good replacement for fiat currencies. But current examples of blockchain-currencies are either company-sponsored or community-based. This again puts a big weight on a single actor. I'd rather trust the admin of money to a government than a company or a community of anonymous economists/technologists.

Finally, the ability go debase (I assume you mean devaluating) a currency is (arguably) a desirable characteristic. During crises, responsibly devaluating a currency can help a country's economy.
